Deb Hart's newest creation above Art Show Continued from page B-1 "Even though the civic denter is nice, you don't get the traffic through there and people just don't'go out of their way to see the show," she said. Despite the change in location and the smaller attendance, the art show, which is juried, meaning that art must be approved by judges to be placed in the show, typically draws about 120 art pieces during the show. Although it is a juried show, Schuyten and Hart said that all types of art are welcome. Schuyten and Hart said that the de- crease in local interest in the art show is indicative of a broader cultural shift away from going to museums and live entertainment to watching TV or play- ing with newer technology, for example video games or smart phones. "They aren't doing face to face things like live theater or live art shows. It's very sad actually," Schuyten said. While the overall cost of putting on the show is only $1,000, it is difficult for the small club to absorb the cost, associa- tion board member, and show organizer Connie Simpson said. "We want to be sure that the club doesn't go bankrupt over putting on this show," she said. "When all the bills come in, I imagine the board will take a look at it and decide if they want to do it again." Simpson said that sponsors are still Journal photo by Natalie Johnson is a bug made of recycled parts. needed for this year's show, and dona- tions are welcome. While all three members of the as- sociation acknowledge that attendance at the show is waning, they all stressed how important art is for the community. "People just don't get to see art any- more," Hart said. Simpson also mentioned that the show helps bring tourism dollars to the area, because artists ot~n travel from throughout western Washington to par- ticipate in the show. "We put a broad net out and try to get people from a lot of areas - they have to bring their art here, so maybe they have to buy gas here, maybe they have to have a meal here," Simpson said. "In that re- spect I think it's sort of like tourism - the county would miss that money." For the association and its members, art is an important part of life that should be shared with the community. They hope that with community support, the art show, and art in Shelton, will live on in the years to come. "There's no limits on art, art comes in all forms," Schuyten said. The Spring Art Show runs from April 20 through April 29. Artists interested in submitting their work can drop it off at the Shelton Civic Center on April 17 and 18. Cost per piece is $10 for members and $15 for non-members. Admission for the public is free. For more information, call Connie Simpson at 432-1011.
